 |
This image was created and is now in the public domain in the United Kingdom, because its term of copyright has expired. According to the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (c. 48), a reformation of the Copyright Act 1956 (c. 74), images fall into public domain 50 years from the death of the author. If author is unknown it falls into the public domain 50 years after it was created.[1] |  |
Under UK copyright law (and this image was taken in the UK) photographs taken before 1944 have a copyright term of 50 years from the date the photograph was taken. If the photograph was taken in 1929 (the year Openshaw died) that copyright expired in 1979. The copyright to the image does not belong to the Royal London Hospital- they merely own a copy of the photograph. See here for explanation of British Copyright Law concerning photographs.[2] which clearly states: "Photographs taken on or before 31 December 1944 - Such photographs would have been only entitled to copyright protection of 50 years up to 31 December 1994". Please note it does not say published before 1944 - it says taken before 1944.
